The relevant section from Law 11 as you don’t seem to believe it
2. Offside offence
A player in an offside position at the moment the ball is played or touched* by a team-mate is only penalised on becoming involved in active play by:
gaining an advantage by playing the ball or interfering with...
The scorer is in an offside position the whole time, so is offside. Why do you think he is onside when he is clearly in an offside position throughout?
Read what I said above, I’m not sure how else to explain it. As soon as it hit #20 on the back and bounced through to the striker it is offside, as #20 clearly didn’t deliberately play it. It was a rebound and thus offside (as clearly defined in the Offside law).
Re your point on the long...
Irrelevant. It was offside at the point it bounced off the back of the #20. A rebound or deflection does not play you onside; it’s only onside if a defender deliberately plays the ball.
And it has been explained to you in words of one syllable why this isn’t going to happen.
So possibly:
a) you’re being deliberately perverse
b) you don’t understand what a contract is
c) you’re thick as mince.
My guess is that it is a combination of all three.
Possible, but it hasn’t happened much in the Championship in recent years.
There are 7 premier league games on the Saturday so TV likely to be saturated with those games.
All the bank holiday games will be live on Sky.
“All opening, final day, and midweek fixtures in the Sky Bet EFL will be shown live, as will all games played on Bank Holidays including Easter, Boxing Day and New Year's Day”
It looks like you weren’t at the Sheffield Utd or Luton games in October/November. Both 12:30 kickoffs, both cracking atmosphere.
And we were floating around just above the relegation zone.
I don’t think it was, but there are many other examples, including Sheffield Utd and Luton this season. And did 12:30 affect the atmosphere at Oxford last week? I don’t think so.
No need to apologise, everybody is entitled to disagree. But interested to know how you would explain the Leicester and Fulham games then? The place was absolutely bouncing.
For those who really can’t enjoy football without drinking, I’m sure they are on it during the morning when it’s 12:30...
